Fortune Telling Or Entertainment In Tarot

By Barbara Adams


If you have a fascination with the occult, this topic will no doubt pique your interest. Even if you do not believe in something that you might tag as balderdash, then all the nitty gritty will still be worth knowing. Anyway, it is time to delve into tarot san diego.

Some adherents see it as a true blue form of divination, but there are yet others who perceive it more conservatively. Even when it does not bode meaning into anyones present and future, it is still seen as a nifty way by which one can tap on his own inner wisdom and intuition. Its not necessarily fortune telling per se, but it can still hold up a mirror to your life, giving you insight on hidden truths, thoughts, and feelings.

Consequently, tapping on this resource from the subconscious makes it easier for people to track their next step. The caveat to keep in mind, however, is that it should not be solely and mainly used in order to make ones everyday decisions about life, love, career, and others. It can be an influence, but certainly not the stimulus. After all, it is still your own life to make or break.

For the divinatory purpose, the deck is composite of seventy eight cards all in all, and these are divided into two parts, the major arcana and the minor arcana. The first literally translates to great secrets. The face cards include the magician, high priestess, emperor, empress, the lovers, hierophant, hermit, chariot, strength, justice, the hanged man, death, wheel of fortune, tower, devil, temperance, the sun, moon, star, world, judgment, and the fool. The last is the only card that is unnumbered while the rest are tagged with roman numerals, I to XXI.

The second one is, you might have guessed, the lesser secrets. This one makes up the remaining fifty six cards. There are fourteen cards in each suit, with ten that are numbered. The other four are court cards, composite of the King, Queen, Jack, and the Knight. In the traditional Italian, however, these are swords, coins, cups, and batons. And in postmodern ones, the baton is replaced with wands, staves, or rods. The coins suit, on the other hand, is alternatively called disks or pentacles.

When we are talking about readings, it is worth knowing that there are two types to it. To enumerate, they are the open and question readings. With the latter, a specific question is being addressed, while the other usually ends in interpretation.

The thing with tarot reading is that it does not answer to specific yes or no questions. That is because it should not be treated as some tell all guide and identifier when it comes to making decisions. The same really goes with other supposed paranormal games like Ouija boards.

In the end, it all boils down to the subconscious. Even psychology has quite credible position on this. According to respectable scientists like Carl Jung, the guiding forces of the universe, which we humanly perceive as coincidences, can be taken as signs that will make us more insightful about the workings of life and the solutions to our problems. This is usually referred to as the principle of synchronicity.

Anyway, if you are really obstinately fascinated with tarot reading, you can go on to learn more about it. Read relevant books. You may even take courses and be certified. The courses may be accessed online, and there are organizations and independent teachers hereabouts whose expertise you can tap on. Of course, since this aspect of a career is not at all regulated, it would do to be sharp and prudent in your choice of teachers and certification programs. You can consult a tarot deck on the matter.
